I prefer baby photo sessions unfold naturally. If the baby is still sleeping when you (or I) arrive, Golly-Me, don’t wake her!!! In some sessions we actually spend time waiting for sleep to overcome our “Star”. If she is grumpy when falling to sleep, I may take a few shots to capture the pouting moment, but I’ll also concentrate on the nurturing, soothing connection of Daddy rocking babe to sleep. Maybe I’ll get a shot of giant hand engulfing tiny foot. Sleep is a baby’s most relaxed state, and that utter calm is gorgeous. Let sleeping babies lie.

Here are a few samples of the Gehrke’s Coffee Table Album. They had glorious weather for their elegant yet natural wedding at Alderbrook Resort on Hood Canal. This is a unique venue for those dreaming of a destination within a simple drive. Party with your friends and family all weekend, or all week for that matter. Indulge in the Spa! Your get-away vehicle can be a float plane, and your wedding shoes, either something delicate and gorgeous, or rugged Wellington Boots for a trek into the tide pools!

I put in a couple of single shots too, since this presentation is small and was designed to be a 10×15 Coffee Table Album.

We custom design each album in-studio to keep the design personal and exactly how we (and of course YOU) want it.

  • Claudia Kronenberg - Janet,

    We have known each other over 20 years and it is a treat to see your photography ever growing and your passion and dedication come alive in this sort of forum.

    Congrats on your new blog…I’m still yet to join the Blog Bandwagon.

    All the best.

  • JanetKlinger - Claudia AND Annie, I can’t wait to see you on the East Coast again.
    Our time together at RIT and especially our intense learning in Salzburg, are some of my most memorable crazy and creative times. Thankfully I still have plenty, just not in so saturated a form.

    Love you both, JanetReplyCancel
